hardtack 11,107 Posted June 18, 2021 Posted June 18, 2021 For anyone subscribed to Netflix, I can heartily recommend the following series: Nobody’s Looking - a Brazilian comedy about guardian angels The Neighbour - a Spanish comedy about a super hero 3 Quote
At Least I Saw a Flag 5,354 Posted November 2, 2021 Posted November 2, 2021 The Newsreader was great. Outstanding writing, acting and production values. Set in the 80s so of particular interest to oldies. I think it's still on iview. I thought Total Control would be as good as The Newsreader. It's OK but nowhere near as good. Same with Fires. 2 Quote
Macca 17,127 Posted November 7, 2021 Posted November 7, 2021 (edited) The 4th and final season of Goliath was brilliant ... of course, I am a big fan of Billy Bob Thornton but the whole cast really nailed series 4 Set in dark, damp Chinatown (San Fransisco) series 4 is for 'Noir' fans. Be prepared to be surprised ... the best show I've seen this year! And the first season of 'Only Murders in the Building' was very funny and very entertaining Marty Short & Steve Martin were just mesmerisingly good ... and there's more to come. The sort of show you can watch on repeat Edited November 7, 2021 by Macca 1 Quote

The show was also about so much more than the courtroom drama's that eventuated But that's just my view ... each to their own 1 Quote

Have you seen Bosch? Great plot but the back story is like watching CFC highlights 1 Quote

Bosch soon enough though ... at least the first 3 eps 1 Quote
Fritta and Turner 4,697 Posted November 8, 2021 Posted November 8, 2021 If you are a Billy Bob fan, and why not, I assume you have seen Fargo? and any othe r recommendations? Naturally you have seen mathew Mc in True Detective? 1 Quote

Naturally you have seen mathew Mc in True Detective? Yeah seen 'em all ... Sling Blade was a tremendous film (BBob) I can remember debating the worth of True Detective S2 with AF here. I really liked it and thought with time, it might be appreciated better. But there again I'm a Colin Farrell fan as well (how good was 'In Bruges'!) Still haven't seen True Detective series 3 ... any good? Better Call Saul is very good. Others such as Ozark & Homeland are good And we're going to see another series of Dexter ... that'll be interesting Edited November 8, 2021 by Macca 1 Quote
Fritta and Turner 4,697 Posted November 8, 2021 Posted November 8, 2021 True Detective - got half way the 2nd series..... Better Call Saul - I was into Breaking Bad but got nearly to the end; I asked a friend how did it end and they said What do you think?, so I stopped. Ozark - yes. (There is a line in there where the wife says she would like to start a new life in the middle of nowhere, Mullumbimby, which is inland from Byron Bay. Obviously the writer has been out that way) Any comedy or sci fi? 1 Quote

Curb your Enthusiasm new series has started out ... as previously mentioned Only Murders in the Building 'Barry' is good, The Kominsky Method is decent As for Sci-fi ... got a bit to catch up on as there is a bit about 'Dark' is supposed to be good, Glitch season 3 to watch. Have they made any more of 'Black Mirror'? 1 Quote
Macca 17,127 Posted November 17, 2021 Posted November 17, 2021 (edited) Dexter* is back and the first episode was very good ... I'd give it an 8.5/10 A few surprises and a totally different location but a fair bit to work with re the new (and old) characters Yellowstone is terrific ... watched the first 2 episodes and I'm already hooked *The official Showtime podcast is available through Podbay ... Michael C Hall features on the first podcast of the new series Edited November 17, 2021 by Macca Quote
Macca 17,127 Posted January 10, 2022 Posted January 10, 2022 The Dexter New Blood series has finished Overall, a thoroughly enjoyable revisit but with a few unanswered plot-holes But satisfying nonetheless especially when considering how the original series finished off So no spoilers right now as many might not have watched as yet Quote

Have they made any more of 'Black Mirror'? Quite liked Barry, though the 2nd season has some stupid plot lines. I am also watching You on the Flix though it is getting a tad repetitive. Worth a good look. Quote
At Least I Saw a Flag 5,354 Posted January 19, 2022 Posted January 19, 2022 I've been watching The Windsors on Netflex. Hilarious !! Highly recommend. Quote

hardtack 11,107 Posted January 23, 2022 Posted January 23, 2022 After Life Season 3 on Netflix- excellent. Reservation Dogs on Foxtel - fantastic. 100 Foot Wave on Foxtel - terrific. Mandalorian on the Disney Channel - fantastic. Hellbound (Korean) on Netflix - fantastic. 1 Quote
Macca 17,127 Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 Recently viewed 4 mini series Safe (8.0) The Five (7.5) The Stranger (7.5) Behind her Eyes (7.5) All British productions and all are in the Mystery/Thriller genre Quote
Macca 17,127 Posted February 16, 2022 Posted February 16, 2022 2 Mini-series that are above average good for their genre. Both best described as meandering horror with some real mystery thrown in 'The Outsider' (Stephen King) & 'Midnight Mass' (Mike Flanagan) Quote
Macca 17,127 Posted April 25, 2022 Posted April 25, 2022 New Season of 'Better Call Saul' released 2 episodes available with episode 3 out shortly 1 Quote
Fritta and Turner 4,697 Posted May 14, 2022 Posted May 14, 2022 I have been watching the Flight Attendant....there are flash backs forwards ups and downs, lots of drinking, noise, shouting etc....I think it would be just as enjoyable if you played the episodes out of order (see also Killing Eve) 1 Quote
Macca 17,127 Posted July 12, 2022 Posted July 12, 2022 The last 6 episodes of Better Call Saul kicked off last night ... a brilliant episode to begin the countdown to the finale 1 Quote
layzie 34,528 Posted July 24, 2022 Posted July 24, 2022 I'm not the best TV watcher at the best of times but I've been giving the documentary version of The Staircase a go and I'm right into it. Anyone seen it? 1 Quote

Action/Mystery/Thriller The 2nd series of 'Only Murders in the Building' is out ... it's a lot of fun esp if one likes Steve Martin & Marty Short Quote
